PTC 2009 Season
The Provincetown Theater Company Presents
SPIRIT OF THE SEASON
SPIRIT OF THE SEASON is an evening of holiday classics featuring GIFT OF THE MAGI and A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN WALES.
GIFT OF THE MAGI is a play based on the short story by O. Henry. A magical story about a young struggling couple spending their first Christmas together at the turn of the last century. Each sells their most valued possession to buy a present for the other. The twist ending teaches each the true meaning of Christmas.
A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN WALES based on the poem by Dylan Thomas lyrically describes an early 1900’s Christmas in Swansea Wales as viewed through the eyes of a child. Thomas has managed to universalize the very essence of Christmas as any child anywhere might perceive it.
Both plays in one evening with an intermission. $18.00 adults and $15.00 for seniors and students. January 9 at 7:30pm and January 10 at 5:00pm.
The Provincetown Children’s Theater presents

The Provincetown Theater Company Presents
The 2009 Fall Playwrights’ Festival
The 2009 Fall Playwrights’ Festival, November 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 at 7:30pm. Six world premier short plays will be performed along with readings of five new full length plays, all by Cape Cod artists!
The tradition of presenting original works at the Provincetown Theater Company continues this fall with the production of six new short plays and the stage reading of five original full-length plays. Over two weekends, the short plays will be staged four times and each full length play will be read once at difference dates.
The wealth of local Cape Cod playwrights makes this program possible as writers from Sandwich to Provincetown share their plays for the first time. The short plays run about 15 minutes each and create a full program together. The full-length readings each require a time slot of their own. Audiences can experience both the short plays and at least one full length reading the same day. Check the full schedule for details.
Also making such a program possible is the large pool of talented actors, some quite experienced and others new to the theater. Last Spring’s Festival was a huge success and paved the way for the more extensive program this fall. Playwrights of short plays include Jeannette Angell of Truro, E Thomas Finan of Barnstable, Bob Seaver and Myra Slotnick of Provincetown, and part-time residents James McLindon and George Sauer. The full-length plays come from familiar faces Jim Lucason, Candace Perry, Priscilla Sample, Jerry Thompson and Margaret van Sant.
To make this program available to the broadest audience, prices have been kept low. Six Short Plays $15 (includes a $3.50 box office fee) and the Full-Length Readings are only $5 cash each, payable at the door. No advance sales for the readings.
Congratulations to the Fall Playwrights’ Festival winning submissions

Art Performance with Robert Cardinal
“Art lesson, and schmooze,
Food, music, and booze,
Best of all… a fine big prize for someone’s wall.”
The Provincetown Theater Foundation/Provincetown Theater Company is pleased to announce the second annual, “Art Performance with Robert Cardinal” on Saturday, September 5. That afternoon, from 4:00-6:00, Mr. Cardinal, a renowned local artist and teacher, will be accompanied by the accomplished violinist Cenovia Cummins, oboeist Marilyn Coyne and other musicians on stage, as he completes a full size painting.
Patrons will enjoy complementary appetizers from the Lobster Pot and other local restaurants, wine selections from Truro Vineyards, and beer styles produced by Cape Cod Beer, as the painter illustrates his lesson on the creation of a work of art.
At the conclusion of this delightful schmooze, a raffle will select the recipient of the just-completed painting.
Ticket price $150. For those unable to attend, the raffle only, $100.
